Ira Khan On Completing Therapy
A few days ago, Aamir Khan’s daughter Ira Khan revealed that after eight years of psychoanalysis, with sessions three times a week, she has now ‘graduated’ therapy. While she is still on medication, she explained that her therapist felt that she is ready to manage on her own. She added that she is in remission from depression, and should be able to manage future depressive episodes. However, she is prepared to ask for help if needed in the future.
“On 13th October, I had my last therapy session. After 3 times a week -For 8 years of psychoanalysis…I’m no longer in therapy. “So you’re cured now?” I’m still on medication and I probably will be for the foreseeable future. Not being in therapy anymore means that my therapist and I felt confident that I had learnt a bunch of things, started living my life in a more helpful manner (for me) and I’d be able to manage on my own – responsibly taking care of myself and remembering to have fun in life!” she wrote.
She further added, “As far as ‘cured’ goes…I’m in remission from my depression and with my medication, I should be able to manage future depressive episodes – and if I can’t, I’ll ask for help. This is NOT A THING and not what it’s called but I like saying it -I GRADUATED THERAPY!! I PASSED!”
